The store where you always get your money's worth. Dallas, Oregon Although Pedeo and the surround ing country is a settlement of nearly as great nge as the Airlie district, gives to the casual visitor the impress ion or being a comparatively new country, and one yet in its formative state. There are two reasons for this, the one being the natural contour of the country, and the other the fact that the farming industry in that region is just at this time passing through i transitional stage, which was com pleted several years ago In the neigh borhood around Airlie. Airlie lies farther out from the Coast range proper, and the land has been formed in long, low hillocks, with gently rolling flanks and wide shallow valleys. The characteristics of the Pedee country are quite the contrary, Flat plains of alluvium lie between huge knob-like creats, whose sides are sheared away so steeply as to make their cultivation a matter of great difficulty. With its rougher, wilder formation, this region has, and will always have, the appearance of being a younger country and of having a more virile, progressive life within it than the land which lies stretched out in placid prosperity in the less rugged country farther out from the flanks of the Coast range, The farming Industry in this region is. as previously mentioned, in a state of transition. The growinff of Krain, which is gradually beiug superseded by fruit-raising and dairying In the Willamette Valley, is only beginning to yield its place on the farms of the Pedee. The farmers have tried duiry farming and finding it a more profit able employment than wheat raising, considering the amount of work required, are steadily adding to their herds of cattle and as steadily decreas ing the number of acres planted in grain each year. The Corvallis creamery has established a milk route through this territory and is taking out a large amount of cream every week. fi. Pickens has the largest herd of cattle in this neighborhood,, and devotes his time entirely to dairy farm- ng. He has 30 cows, and is iucreas ng his herd as rapidly as possible. Jesse Yost comes next in order, with a herd of 10 cows, from which he is milking 14 at the present time. G. A. Pagenkopf, Thomas Kinchin and R. A. Hastings are each milking six cows, and eacn says tnat he intends to increase his herd next year. Nearly all the people along the new milk route are becoming awakened to the import ance oi dairying, and It is probable that five years of time will see this locality one of the most thriving dairy regions in Polk county. It. A. Hastings, in speaking of his success in the work up to this time, said that during the summer, while he was milking six cows, he averaged one dollar a day on the sale of the cream, aside from what he kept for family use. These results were obtained without any special feeding. The cows were turned out into the pastures and allowed to graze where they would. Although the interest in fruit raising has been awakened along with dairy farming, little has been done along that line thus far except to prune and clean up the old orchards 'that had become diseased and in a measure unproductive through years of neglect. Yet there is every indication that fruit growing has received the impulse that will cause it to developi because nearly every man who is interested In dairy- tig also declares his intention to make the culture of fruit one of his occupations in future. Those steep, rugged hillsides that now lie untilled and unproductive, giving the richness of their red soil to nourish nothing but tangles of under brush, are already being found out at their true value. No better soil can be found for the production of apples, or the culture of fine vineyards. Under the movement for development that is now under way, in the hands of the progressive and intelligent people who dwell in that locality, it is probable that in a few years much of the blue ribbon fruit of our Blue Ribbon County will be grown and harvested n the Pedee country. , DEAN COLLINS. The half of the ice factory building adjoining the Riley corner is being torn down and will be built entirely new from the ground up. The front will match that of the new store adjoin ing it, and will be built flush with the street, instead of being set back as it was before. The height of the new addition will be one story only, but it will be arranged so as to give a con siderably larger amount of floor space than it afforded befote.

Great interest is being taken in the big anniversary dinner for the public library, which is to be given Thursday evening, October 17, from 5:30 to o'clock in the Woodman Hall, Already a large number of tickets have been sold, and everything points to a record-breaking crowd. It will be a typical New England dinner Boston baked beans, brown bread, salads, cold boiled ham, cold roast meats, doughnuts, apple, mince and pumpkin pies, tea, coffee, ice cream, cakes, etc. Doesn't the menu make one hungry? Then in addition to this material feast, a great musical treat is in store for alf who attend the dinner. The Eilers Piano House of Portland has very kindly agreed to send one of their finest Victor talking machines and a lot of their choicest records, One of their men will be In attendance, and will give a splendid concert from 5 to 9 in the hall. inis concen win give everyone an opportunity to hearthe clear, beautiful tones of Caruso's tenor, Schumann Heinck's glorious contralto, the rich beauty of Gadski's voice, and so on through all the list of grand opera stars. There will be some light, popular music, too, but all of a high order of excellence not the trashy tilings generally associated wltn a talking machine. It is believed that this feature of the enteitainment will be quite as great an attraction as the dinner. The people of Dallas will certainly owe the Eilers piano house a debt of gratitude, for this splendid concert will be given wholly at the expense of the firm. Come, everyone, to the Woodman Hall, October 17, to be refreshed and amused. It will only cost 60 cents for adults and 25 cents for children, there being no extra charge for the concert. BID STUDENTS WELCOME Reception By Church Societies of Dallas Proves Highly Enjoyable Social Affair. The reception given to the students of Dallas College by the church socie ties, Friday night, was something unique in the social history of Dallas. It was held in the college gymnasium, and about 150 guests were present, rep resenting not only the student body, but nearly all of the social and church organizations of the city. The guests were welcomed by the reception committee and ushered to seats in the gallery, The entertain ment was opened with a vocal solo by Miss Hallie Morrison, followed by an invocation by the Rev. N. W. Sager and an address of welcome by Profes sor H. H. Dunkelberger. A represent ative from each of the churches then delivered an address appropriate to the occasion. Miss Ada Osfleld gave one of her inimitable readings, and Misses Winnie Kelly and Ella Roy sang a duet. The greater part of the evening was spent in playing games and as the hour grew late the merry throng was served with light refreshments. All who were present were highly pleased with the success of the recep tion and the excellent opportunity that it gave the young people of the town and college to become better ac quainted. The sentiment in favor of the continuance of the custom is very strong, and this style of reception will probably become an annual social event in Dallas, If taken patiently and persistently will relieve the most obstinate cases of indigestion, constipation, bad blood, bad liver no matter how long standing That's what Hollister's Rocky Moun tain Tea will do. 35 cents, Tea or Tab lets.

The Oregon Railroad Commission returned to Salem, Saturday, from Airlie and Suver, where hearings were held upon complaints by shippers gainst the company. It Airlie the company agreed to build a depot and stock yards as desired, so the proceed- ngs were dismissed without prejudice. At Suver the company submitted figures to show that business has been iminishing at the rate of 10 per cent year for four years and does not warrant the employment of an agent The shippers replied that non-employ ment of an agent had caused hauling of freight to other points and explained the decrease. The Commission took the matter under consideration. The only true constipation cure must begin its soothing, healing action when it enters the mouth. Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea restores the whole system to a healthy, normal condition. 35 cents, Tea or Tablets. Belt & Cher rington.

Dear Observer: I think perhaps a number of your readers will be interested in an account of the reception given by President and Mrs. Wheeler to the Freshman class of the University of California. There are about 700 of us Freshman, and all the members of the faculty and a number of upper class men and women who are leaders in the various pnases or college lire, were invited, so in all about eleven hundred invita tions were issued. Judging from the number present, uearly all the invita must have been accepted. Hearst Hall, the gift of Mrs. Phoebe Hearst to the women of the university for a gymnasium, resting place, and hall for social gathering, had been beautifully decorated for the occasion with palms and hothouse plants. On entering the building, thQ men checked their hats and coat8 at a little room downstairs, while the girls went to dressing rooms upstairs, where maids relieved them of their wraps. Then came the honor of meeting the hosts of the occasion. In the receiving line were President and Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs. Hearst, the President of the student body and the President of the Associated Women Students. Mrs. Hearst wore a beauti ful dress of black material iver white chiffon, decorated with a design made of tiny rhinestones. She looked very lovely and dignified, As this is the dress occasion of the year, every one had on hisr her best. The result was a very pretty picture of happy faces and pretty dresses against the background of palms. Many of the Professors were present and they were very cordial in their greetings to their pupils. A great many of us had pleasant chats with our teachers that we would never have had time for in the busy rush of class- day life, and I am sure that there were founded there the beginnings of many more close relations and sym pathetic understanding between teacher and pupil. I had the pleasure and honor of a talk all by myself with President Wheeler. I do not wonder that the students here simply adore him and go wild with enthusiasm when he speaks to them as a body. He was as sympathetic and interested in my work, my aspirations, and my appre ciation of the wonderful things that are coming to me here, as if I had been an old acquaintance instead of a very ignorant and timid little Freshman. Among the upper classmen present was Lewis McArthur, of Rickreall, editor of the college paper, The Daily Californian, and affectionately known among the boys as "Tam" McArthur. Late in the evening there was dancing for those who cared for it, and downstairs punch and ice cream were served. In the center of the room was the big table, beautifully decorated with flowers and daintily shaded candles. At the sides of the room were perhaps fifty small tables, each accommodating four people. Boon after midnight we wended our way homeward, very tired but happy. The experiences of the evening were very pleasant to me, and I shall remember them long. UVA WASH.
